How to buy an apartment in Kileleshwa safely
Follow these steps whenever you buy any of the apartments for sale in Kileleshwa on this page.
- Confirm the title: apartments in Nairobi are increasingly sold on sectional titles under the Sectional Properties Act 2020. Ask whether the unit has a sectional title or a long lease, and run an official search on Ardhisasa.
- Check approvals for off-plan projects: ask for the Nairobi City County building approval, the NEMA licence and the contractor’s NCA registration.
- Budget for costs on top of the price: stamp duty is 4% of the value for property in Nairobi, plus legal fees, valuation fees if you use a mortgage, and the service charge deposit.
- Use your own advocate: have an independent advocate review the sale agreement before you pay any deposit.
- Visit the building: check access roads, water storage, backup power, parking and the condition of common areas.
Run official land searches through the government’s Ardhisasa portal where the registry is online, and check current stamp duty rules and payment on the Kenya Revenue Authority website.
